Multilayer Organic (MLO ) Capacitors General Information GENERAL DESCRIPTION Based on its patented multilayer low loss organic (MLO ) technology. These new capacitors represent a paradigm shift from traditional ceramic and thin film passive SMD components. Multilayer Organic Capacitors (MLOC) are polymer based capacitors that use high conductivity copper interconnects in a multilayer fashion. The ability to fabricate these components on large area substrates and state of the art laser direct imaging allow for improved cost benefits and tolerance control. The end result is a state of the art low ESR and high SRF low profile RF capacitor that can support frequencies well above one GHz. Additionally MLOCs are expansion matched to printed circuit boards to allow for improved reliability.
